Mega track cars. This the turbo? Fell in love with the gearbox when I drove one at brands.

Yep. Tarmac rally tyre that. They use them on a generic rally school in the uk which will remain nameless. They last pretty well, not sure what they are like on track though. And yes they are cheap although not sure they are still made.

Stone chips i'd imagine.

Yeah fair point bud.

Couple of my old mans mates work there as well. Chris Goodwin amongst others?

That's why I said Ds3000's and not 2.5's :) the DS2500's aren't up to sole track work either, they're more of a fast road odd track day pad.

I said many Tony. Which is true from what i've seen (maybe I should have made that clearer sorry mate). Theres a few one make championships that use them like Ma5da but that's bound to be price related as well. I've seen yellows come off the backing plate, they also seem to be pretty hard on...

For track work, Either DS3000's or Carbone Lorrains IMO. I have used EBC in the past on a number of cars. You won't find many people who compete use them for a good reason, they're poo. But they are cheap which will probably be why people buy them.

Not keen on those wheels. Silver is the only one that doesn't look shite IMO

I've never used winter tyres. I've also never got stuck either & I work - live in the sticks. Saying that if the snows that bad the tyres aren't going to help that much anyway & I'm sure as hell not going to spend money on tyres to get to work lol. Not a chance. It's only a couple of days...

Agree'd. Really not keen on the new one at all. Shame as most the other stuff merc are knocking out these days looks mega.

Red are a million times better than green. Still personally wouldn't use anything ebc do on the cars side though.

There's your problem. green stuff are sh*te! Buy some proper pads mate. Putting different discs on isn't going to help when you've got bourbon biscuits for brake pads.

They sound a fair bit more grunty.

Stunning pictures mate

Looks like a good build

Never really understood the appeal of Trophy's (no disrespect). You could get a nice tidy well looked after 182 with change for your mods with that money.

What will be the main purpose of the car other than the obvious. I.E. any track etc?

I imagine that's probably to do with salt content of sea water as well partly. Still a funny thing to do. Best job title.

A mate of mine has a clubby JCW one of these, he's had mega issues with it. Still loves it though & in fairness (when it's running) it goes pretty well. His only seems to run right on super though & has had the coking issue, as well as numerous other problems.

I dropped mine in water, it was in the airing cupboard for nearly a week before it was dry. Took it in to the apple store & they were so busy they didn't even check & replaced it.

Mega car! lovely mate.

To be honest, the grooves won't really do much. You'd be better off getting braided hoses if you haven't already & uprating the fluid coupled with some decent pads like CL's for example.

I think if you lost the barry boys number plate it would help an awful lot.

The engine will still free up fella.

Mega cars - find a tunnel, get the roof down & put your foot through the bulkhead.

2litre mate

Don't need ABS for track work tbh. The pug would probably be the more expensive route in my op.

Not taking anything away from the 205, but i'd stick with the clio as a track car.

Nice mate! Looks like tweeks w/shops..
